Carley was an amazing instructor. Her hammer work was so elegant to watch. She moved metal like it was butter. The class was 2 hours and since it was one on one I got have much more input and be able to relax more. It was a great experience. Definitely will be going back for another lesson or if anything to play with big blue

My husband and I took a blacksmithing class here as something fun for our Anniversary and it was amazing! We felt comfortable and (with zero knowledge of blacksmithing) we were made to feel incredibly welcomed and we learned a lot! We did a 2 hour class and made some wall hooks and a bottle opener and holy canoli, my arm was tired on the way home!! :) It was a ton of fun and we are already hoping to get back out there again for another class soon. If you want lots of one-on-one time in a totally non-judgment setting (our skills going in were non-existent) then seriously book a session!! It was
